As I write a new update to a report, research grabs my eye. Facts filled with historical details. Discoveries from 1918 shared from the days when journalist penned truth. Inch by inch, across the screen, my eye saw the revelation. But like today, a nemesis works to hide the details from the public.
fact over fiction
facemask’s offer no refuge
history repeats

Dr. G.M. Corput, a man of honor, oversaw the United States Public Health Service. He led the charge against the 1918 pandemic. The state of Louisiana no longer needed to worry. They had a genuine expert who put people first.

courage brings reform

On a visit to a local restaurant, all hell broke loose. What he saw, the unthinkable. Workers wore mask for no rhyme or reason. When he asked a simple question, “Why are you wearing these masks?” Silence fell as the people looked on in confusion.
logic flees the scene
sadness overcomes many
deception occurred

The doctor could take no more. He knew the truth would set them free. In that moment, he spoke words which changed the course of their history,
“Remove these masks at once. They offer zero protection.”
He made sure the people knew these masks caused them harm. They prevent their ability to inhale fresh air. They cause damage and allow germs to spread. They lead to disease and dangerous infections.
valor over fear
advance continually
truth defeats evil
— wiv, senryu
Because of the doctor’s bravery, the damage from mask wear became known. Restrictions removed and people breathed freely once again. Good men don't comply with evil. They stand fast for righteousness at all cost.
“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13, NKJV)
Good men will never bow to tyranny. Stand fast my friends and be strong.
